lyrics

I'm afraid to die
I'm afraid of that long slow decline
Every end in sight
I'm afraid to die

Life was so much simpler when I knew who to please
You're on the straight and narrow and you're running for the cheese
Lights are on but no one's home
And then I turned to rock and roll

But now, Good Lordy, I'm afraid to die

I'm afraid to die
I'm afraid that I'll have to say goodbye
To everyone I like
I'm afraid to die

Knowing I've been here before and I'm coming back around
It takes off all the pressure and there's lots of sitting down
But then you hit the big "What if,
I'm stuck here lying cold and stiff"
So now, Hare Krishna, I'm afraid to die.

I'm afraid to die
I'm afraid I won't see the end of time
When everything is light
I'm afraid to die

I threw myself into the earth and danced with horn-ed gods
I held my arms up to the moon and played around with frogs
But it was all so long ago
And there's so much we'll never know
So now, Great Goddess, I'm afraid to die.

I'm afraid to die
I'm afraid that I never had what's mine
That there's nothing divine
I'm afraid to die

Music lasts forever so I figured start a band
We'd set ourselves on fire, leave a mark upon the land
But mountains crumble, seasons pass
The only truth is "nothing lasts"
So now, sweet mercy, I'm afraid to die.

I'm afraid to die
I'm afraid of that long slow decline
Every end in sight
I'm afraid to die

I was fortunate enough to attend one of Julia's shows at Riverview Gardens in Appleton, the other winter. Basically been a fan of hers, and the band Dusk, ever since. Love your style, and your music. tok_brew

Better Out Than In
by Julia Blair

supported by 5 fans who also own “Afraid to Die”

Julia has the most unique voice, both sonically speaking and her music sensibility. She's equally folky and soulful, pulling from a range of influences far cooler than most could claim. This is an awesome collection of songs; as huge fan of the demos she put out, I especially love this fully fleshed out version of Barbara. jimiwiz
